who is liable?

Are spouse's liable for each other's medical bills?I thought only the person who signed accepting responsibility was liable but was in a class today on bad debt/collections and was told that spouse's are liable for each other's bills - joint debt regardless of who signed.Does anyone know where I can find documentation supporting this? THANK YOU!!

In a community property state, USUALLY the spouses are equally liable. However, some states have exceptions. If you are going to send to collections, send all the data you have on both spouses, and let your collection agency handle it.
